Okay for completeness, this is the current frontend service file after your
suggestion:

        [Unit]
        Description=the open source DVR, MythTV
        After=mysql.service graphical-session.target
        BindsTo=graphical-session.target

        [Service]
        Environment=DISPLAY=%i
        ExecStart=/usr/bin/mythfrontend

        [Install]
        WantedBy=graphical-session.target


Frontend still did not start after boot.

ian at buster:~$ systemctl status mythtv@:0.service
â mythtv@:0.service - the open source DVR, MythTV
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/mythtv at .service; enabled; vendor
preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
